I spent yesterday painting in oils on my thundercloud. As is my technique, After I have blocked in my painting I have a pretty good idea about where I want to take it and therefor begin painting usually from top to bottom. From back to forward and from left to right. After I pretty well have the painting painted I will go back in and touch up this or that to hopefully make it all come together.

About Me

I am a Wyoming native born into a pioneer ranching family. My educational background is in art and biology which has served me well in the art work I love portraying.
My art reflects my love and interest in the Rocky Mountain west. Its landscapes and its wildlife. I am particularly interested in wild places and in my art I try to portray the light and texture and how those ingredients affect objects in their environment, and in creating a pleasing realistic design that can be incorporated into a painting. I am touched by the awesomeness and simple spirit of nature and consider my work successful when the viewer is equally touched and in turn catches a glimpse of that enduring spirit of wilderness and meaning within themselves.
I thank God for my life and give Him all the praise for all the blessings I have.
